Washlnstcn; Nov. :.--( WASHING TON BUREAU OP THE JOURNAL) Publicity 4nd prison are penalties sug gested for national bank officers who collect usurious rates of Interest from their customers, the recommendation coming from John Skeltbn Williams, comptroller of the currency, In testi mony before' the special joint commit tee of congress on rural credits, jjlf. Williams told the committee that he "has 'discussed with Secretary JJcAdoo of the treasury department a plan that the law b amended to re Culrs each bank in Its periodical state ment to show at the-top the number of loans made in violation of the state usury laws, and also the highest rate of Interest collected by it. VStos Vemalty Tirged. ' Along with this te would have the department of justice authorise to pro ceed against violators of the usury laws when such violations are pointed out by his office or other competent, authority, thus relieving the Injured borrower of the necessity of going into court on his own account. The comptroller. further said he would im pose, a prison penalty, varying In ee vertty with the degree of usury. These statements were brought out incidentally, and foreshadow the Una to be taken in the comptrollers cam paign against exoeaalve interest rates charged by national banks. Recent in vestigations have shown that 1022 na tional banks have been charging an averare of 10 per cent, some an av erage of IS per cent, on their loans. 'The fanners are the ones paying the most pf this toll,- said Jfr. Wll liama, "and as a rule the loans made to them are tha safest of any." Would Bond Bank Officials. The comptroller said he would also recommend a limit on Interest rates, conforming to the usury law in each state. He referred Co the failure of a bank at Bristol, S. X., just reported to Us office, due to the defalcation of the caahlerrtnd said he believed that the officers of national banks should be bonded as a protection to the depos-' ltors. --:-.ti : ; The comptroller -.declared (hat a: number of member banks in the reserve-, system have been unwilling to maker! per cent loans on warehouse receipts, where .the banks eliarge the customer per cent, and this, he said,: was an evidence of a wrong spirit." These bankers are trying to hold up Interest rates. Greater ben efits will follow from the reserve system if the reserve banks will do more to place themselves in touch with the smaller banks, and place more money in the rural communities. Kedaetlom ef yinlmnm Capital Urged. Mr. Williams strongly opposed ttm suggestion that the minimum capital be reduced from $2S,ooo to $10,000. He admitted that under the redts counting privileges of the reserve sys tem a bank with $10,800 capital might, be able to conduct more business than' a $26,000 bank under the old system, but because of the overhead charges end the small capital Involved, he feared a reduction In the minimum capital would prove an Invitation to shysters and promoters. Congressman Moss of Indiana Is chairman of the Joint committee con ducting the hearing on rural credits, and it was he who led In the Ques tioning. Congressman Hawley of Oregon is one of the members of the committee, which is expected to form ulate a rural credits bill for the con sideration of the new congress.
